Ahead of an official announcement Games Workshop looks to be re-opening their US warehouse, as they could be preparing to ramp up operations for May!
Before we jump into this, remember that the GW warehouses here in the states, as well as Italy, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada (ships out of the US) are still officially closed indefinitely and have no set date on when they’ll open.
We saw them asking for orders from retailers here in the states recently, and now it looks like they may just be fulfilling them this week…
GW Taking Retail Orders Around the World & More LATEST
Remember, this currently this only applies to retailers (GW stores and independent LGS here in the states).
Short, sweet, and to the point. GW mentioned recently to retailers that they still don’t know when their warehouses would be up and running again (to which they said there would be at least a two-week delay getting new orders out the door). So to help businesses prepare and get a jumpstart on their inventory restocks and sales, GW is starting accepting orders that’ll ship when things are operational once again.
Games Workshop US Re-Opening: LATEST
Mulitple retailers here in the states confirmed late Monday that Games Workshop gave them a heads up that their restock orders would be shipping out this week.
This could mean that they are slowly clearing out the backlog of orders to they can be ready to resume retail shipping as they start to preview more of Psychic Awakening this week.
While there’s no date on when life will go back to normal here in the states, the silver lining is that your LGS could open its doors for you to find all of the latest releases (like the Prophecy of the Wolf) that we had to sit and wait on while we were social distancing.
According to GW: For all you Warhammer fans running low on plastic glue and Nuln Oil, that means there might soon be a Warhammer or Games Workshop store open near you. In line with local advice and government guidelines, some locations will reopen this week. The success of this pilot, and of course how the COVID-19 situation develops, will determine whether more open back up in the short term.
On top of that, we could be seeing select GW stores re-open in a modified way soon here too, just as they are around the globe.
